How exciting, there are three of us in the 18th.

I do find it baffling that care varies so much from place to place!

apprenticemamma · 21/09/2013 21:53

fucking phone has a stutter sorry

Coolhand · 21/09/2013 21:54

Right, off to read in bed. Have not stopped since DS woke at 5.55am....grrrr. Shattered at the mo.

Beccadugs · 21/09/2013 21:55

Coolhand it was me talking apt appendages. Good to know that I don't need to look for anything!!

Hi there. Please can I join this thread? I am due on 21st March. It is my first pregnancy so everything is very new to me and it would be great to have the support of some other people going through the same thing at the same time. I am booked in for the 20 week scan on 30 October. I do not want to find out the gender but my DH is very keen to know. He also thinks that he will be able to tell from the scan - not sure this is the case unless there is a very obvious appendage - but I am not sure that I am happy with the thought of him knowing without me. Perhaps I am being silly. Anyway, I will stop rambling on now!

Jolleigh · 21/09/2013 22:19

Welcome Faster. Hope you've had an easy time of it so far. Thanks

I'd certainly not want the other half knowing without me. If nothing else, he'll let it slip somehow!

Be warned...we're a chatty bunch and the threads move very quickly.

Jolleigh · 21/09/2013 22:22

That said, I'm finding out. Too much of a control freak not to Wink

Pantomime · 21/09/2013 22:25

Welcome Faster :) you are due the day before me and it's my first pregnancy too!

Fasterkillpussycat · 21/09/2013 22:28

Hi Jolleigh. I have been lucky - morning sickness finished a couple of weeks ago. Now I am just hungry all the time! I hope you have not suffered too much. That is my worry - he is bound to say something. Either way, he will claim that he knew all along at the birth.

Jolleigh · 21/09/2013 22:45

My morning sickness hasn't been too bad right the way through to be honest. Am having loads of greedy-bitch moments, digestive problems, back pain, insomnia, practically anything that isn't vomming basically! The support here is great though...we have lots of ladies, many already having children and they're very good at letting us first timers know what's normal and when we need to stop panicking Smile

Hello!

Not dropped in to say hello for a while, but have lurked when not been feeling too rough.

Brought a new car today which we'll pick up towards end of next week. Makes mental note to self to NEVER take the CHILDREN with us next time we go car shopping as they were not helpful, and took twice as long for us to look around cars due to playing up and whinging! Still we managed to get a car so wasn't all bad.

We took 3 car seats with us and the pram so we could test cars out. In the end we went for a Mazda 5 Sport, as it ticked all our boxes, and we can just about fit all 3 seats into the middle row (booster-seat, stage 2 car-seat and baby car-seat). Was lovely to drive as well.

Also found out today that I will get an upgrade to my implant, so am very pleased that it's happening before this baby arrives. Will be interesting to see if the sound quality is any better than my current implant.

Health-wise - have felt less nausea today (hooray!) and ate loads tonight when went to a friend's house for tea.

All in all, been a good day. Smile How are the rest of you doing?

BionicEar · 22/09/2013 00:14

Waves to Faster and bids a warm welcome to you. Smile

These pages move fast I warn you! We also have a group on Facebook... am sure someone more clued up will be able to paste a link and tell you who you need to give the secret handshake to in order to get a pass to enter! Wink

Rockchick1984 · 22/09/2013 00:24

So is it something in particular that's happened at work? I used to deal with a lot of HR issues in my old job so can try to advise if you like, either on here or PM me.

Welcome to the newbies!

Think I've got sinusitis - can't actually breathe through my nose at all despite most of my cold symptoms having gone. Fun fun fun, guess I'm at the Dr's on Monday... Sad

OwlinaTree · 22/09/2013 01:21

Welcome kara.

Hotcross I hope all is well. Thinking of you, I'm sure it will just be stretching pains.

Going to try to catch up now!

commsgirl · 22/09/2013 06:42

Welcome faster

Hottie hope everything's eased off and you're feeling better.

Bionic car shopping with kids sounds hectic! Glad you found one though.

I was having a lovely sleep until DP woke up and announced he was getting up. The man can't sneak! Wide awake now.

BakingEating · 22/09/2013 07:04

Morning! I'm going to pretend I feel all bright and breezy even though, well...erm...

I went out shopping yesterday and got some maternity trousers. It turns out that I look less pregnant in properly fitting mat clothes than when I squeeze into my normal clothes.

Meanwhile, my mum has already knitted a baby blanket and is making a start on cardigans. I might need you all to place some orders to keep her occupied.

MummyPig24 · 22/09/2013 07:36

Hi faster!

Aaah I love Sundays, it's my lie in day. Dh lie in on Saturday and I bring him breakfast in bed and he does the same for me on Sunday. Ds has football today then we are going to a friends for a BBQ, hope the rain holds off! My nausea is staying away but my back and hip aches are getting worse.

Wonder77 · 22/09/2013 08:08

Sounds nice mummypig I hope to have a relaxing day too. Kept awake till the early hours by 2 8 year olds having a sleepover though so tired!

I love hand knitted clothes bakingeating - you've reminded me to get my mum knitting!

bionic you give me hope- waiting for the nausea to s@d off!

Hi faster congrats! I think it would be hard if your OH found out and you didn't - difficult one. I'm not sure if he could tell from scan- they have improved lots from when I last was pregnant and haven't had my 20 w one yet.

Lots of people talking about 16w scan what is this? Not offered where I am. Thanks.

HotCrossPun · 22/09/2013 08:49

wonder I think it's a 16 week midwife appointment people are talking about. That's what I had anyway. Sometimes you get to listen to the heartbeat but not always.

Thanks comms & owl. The pain is a lot worse and accompanied by bad diarrhea (sorry, I know it's early!) so i'm going to phone the nurse again. By the looks of it I've probably got food poisoning.

Have a great Sunday everybody. Smile

Thanks hot - I won't see anyone till 20w now. It's different according to where you live I think. Hope you're ok.

OwlinaTree · 22/09/2013 09:05

Welcome faster.

hot hope you are feeling better soon.

Went to Gregg's yesterday, but no banana milkshake doughnuts ( that's how they spelt it). Tried two different Gregg's, but both sold out. Did you beat me there prambo? Grin

Pretty certain I felt the baby kick last night. Lay still for ages afterwards to see if it would happen again bit no. How exciting!
